The Currier Bindery specializes in the restoration of antiquarian books. Our restoration methods are designed to preserve as much of the original book as possible and practical, using minimally invasive rebinding techniques. Even the most hopeless looking book can usually be restored. Our goals for book restoration include:

Reback the book (create a new spine to replace one broken beyond repair, keeping the original front and back cover…and, if possible, gluing the original spine over the newly created one to retain the look of the original book)

If the original cover is entirely unusable (or absent), create a new binding in paper, cloth, or leather
